Habitus Fidei

The exhibition Habitus Fidei was conceived as a reflection on the connections between history, culture, and the traditions of confraternities, marking the occasion of the Jubilee Year. It explores the role of confraternities in European history and their contribution to shaping a shared cultural identity.

Focusing on the attire of confraternities, Habitus Fidei offers an engaging journey through their historical and artistic heritage. The exhibition presents confraternal garments alongside paintings, books, prints, and other documents that provide insights into their significance and use.
